Breaking: The Philadelphia 76ers and free agent center Andre Drummond have agreed to a two-year, $10+ million deal, league sources told @hoopshype. Drummond gets a player option Year 2. During his career, Drummond has been a two-time All-Star and a four-time rebounding champion.

Is this the first player to change teams?

Yes

It is!

Andre Drummond with the WOJ BOMB!

[omahen]

So an hour seems to be acceptable time to delay announcing deals that have been likely agreed days or even weeks ago

Drummond signs with another team and the board isn't having a meltdown. Feels good to have legit center rotation.

Can you post this twice so I can like it again?

It's all held up by Paul George, KCP and Thompson. Everyone is in a holding pattern waiting for those guys to figure it out. If they want, they can hold us all hostage for days, just like Kawhi did that one summer.

There is nothing new regarding Tobias Harris and interest from teams.

As reported last week on @ClutchPoints, the Jazz, Spurs, and Pistons are all suitors for the forward in free agency. The Mavericks, should they be unable to land Klay Thompson, will have interest as well.

Kevin Porter Jr. has agreed to a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, including a player option, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. After six weeks of strong play in Greece in April and May, Porter had multiple NBA suitors and chose the Clippers.

Well, at least now I'm properly incentivized to hope this Thompson thing goes through and can stop riding the fence!

...well played, Mavs.

This feels like they're 100% trading Westbrook, and that PG is probably leaving if they're that desperate.

FWIW... I think KPJ could have fit well with Luka.

Of course, but mo money.

Also the optics of signing a guy who beat his girlfriend under Kidd is just no bueno.

I know he was acquitted. Does not matter to the media.

I’m preparing for the fallout of this happening.  I actually like Harris here and once again I’ll be practically the only one pumping sunshine after a trade or signing.

Talking to teams and agents, here's what is being cited for the slow start to free agency:

-Fines for jumping the gun/tampering both both teams and players/agents
-Teams are being very cautious with the aprons and potential hard-caps
-The PG domino will impact so many teams

I'll be with you in the trenches. Signing a 6'8 forward with career 17ppg/8rpg averages who can hit a 3 pretty consistently isn't a bad thing at all.

Harris at MLE level is a great signing

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope leaving the Denver Nuggets and headed to the Orlando Magic on a three-year deal, I’m told.
